    I applied, got, and managed a scientific project "Anticipating Future by Analogy-Making", funded by The European Office of Aerospace Research & Development (EOARD). The aim of the project was to develop models of the relation between analogy-making and other cognitive processes. During the project my collaborators and I implemented the main principles of analogy-making into a Python-based application; produced various simulations of empirical data; and developed a new model of how humans categorize. The work included programing on Python, performing psychological experiments and investigations; preparing scientific publications, and reporting the results.
